Help
I found some Lara bars so I bought one for my dd. I would like to know which is the best/worst flavor so I don't have to waste any time/money trying them all...I had no idea there were so many flavors! Thanks!! I got her the chocolate and coconut one. Is the coffee one good?

I've not tried the coffee one, but the chocolate mint is very good. My other favorites are the Pecan Pie, Cherry Pie, and Ginger Snap.

Any Lara bar is good if you like the flavor in general. I like the lemon and chocolate one (except coffee). I don't like coffee, therefore I don't like any of the coffee or mocha flavored bars.

We get the 3 variety box at Costco and it happens that they are my 3 fav's--apple pie, cherry pie and chocolate. I also like the Jokalate (sp??) lara bars, but don't buy them for the kids because of the caffine. At Costco, they are <1$ a bar too.

I think it comes down to personal taste / preference, but I love the Banana.

I second the banana - tastes just like banana bread.

I never tried them because they all seem to contain almonds. I bought one for my daughter. I think it had cashews and chocolate. She didn't like it at all.

I know it stinks but I would try them all - once. There are only a few flavors that I like and don't care for the most popular flavors at all (cherry pie and the chocolate ones)! My favorite is Key Lime Pie.
REI (if you have one nearby) sells singles of most of the flavors that you can't find other places unless you buy in bulk.
